: Hyperlipidemia and Obesity have been an alarmingly rising health disorders for the past few decades worldwide. They eventually pave way for cardiovascular and other metabolic health risks that are manifested with elevated blood lipid levels. Atherosclerosis, Coronary artery disease and Cerebrovascular diseases, are some major complications of hyperlipidemia. The current clinically available drugs like, Statins & HMG-Co-A inhibitors have a good control on hyperlipidemia but present many insalubrious effects like myopathy & hepatotoxicity that questions their risk-benefit ratio. The current study was designed to develop a fixed-dose combination (FDC) of extracts of Aquilaria agallocha and Borago officinalis, to delve into therapeutic resources that have synergistic benefits and could overpower the adverse effects of modern therapy. These plants are well reported for cardioprotective, immunomodulatory and hepatoprotective potentials. The FDC developed with these plants was examined for its antihyperlipidemic and antiobesity potential in HFD fed animal model (Vijaya et al) for Hyperlipidemia. The extracts from leaves of Borago officinalis and Aquilaria agallocha were administered perorally for 28 days in a fixed dose combination (FDC) in HFD fed rats. The physical and the biochemical parameters; viz, the gross examination of liver, heart, heart weight/body weight ratio, atherogenic index, various hepatic & cardiac biomarker enzymes and serum lipid markers were scrutinized. The result of the study suggested that both the low and high dose of the FDC of Aquilaria agallocha & Borago officinalis has significant Anti-Hyperlipidemic and Anti-Obesity potential against High-fat diet-induced Hyperlipidemia and Obesity when compared to disease control group (at p<0.01 & p<0.001) and their effects were at par with clinically established drugs Atorvastatin & Orlistat.

Background: Peripheral neuropathy is a common condition which can have a significant impact on quality of life. It occurs as a component of several common and rare diseases or can be idiopathic and can present with various symptoms.Aims and Objectives: This study is aimed at evaluating the effectiveness and safety of the fixed dose combination of vitamin B1, B6 and B12in mild to moderate peripheral neuropathy of various etiologies in the Indonesian population.Materials and Methods: This was a prospective, open label, multi-center, single arm observational study (Indonesian Clinical Trial Registry No: INA-KPA0DYA). A total of 411 subjects with mild to moderate peripheral neuropathy of various etiologies, who met the eligibility criteria, were included in the study. A subject was considered to have “completed” the study if the study procedures, up to Visit 3 (one month of treatment) were accomplished. Procedural results and 12-week clinical outcomes are reported.Results: Treatment with combination of vitamin B1, B6 and B12 in subjects with symptoms of PN showed significant improvement in overall Total Symptom Score (TSS), within 14 days. The treatment also successfully reduced individual components of TSS from baseline to Visit 5. A significant percentage reduction was also observed for all the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) parameters at the end of 12 weeks, while the Quality of Life (QoL) scores increased from baseline to the end of treatment.Conclusions: The fixed dose combination of vitamin B1, B6 and B12 was effective and welltolerated in subjects with mild to moderate peripheral neuropathy, of various etiologies.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.9(1) 2018 32-40
